Luke Rex Butterworth (born 28 October 1983) is a former Australian cricket player, who played interstate cricket for Tasmania and club cricket for Glenorchy.
Butterworth became a regular in Tasmania's one-day side, but had to wait until 2006/07 to make his first-class debut. Although he was not a regular in the side during Tasmania's first Pura Cup winning season in 2006/07, he did play an outstanding role in the final, scoring 66 and 106, his maiden first class century. He also took 4/33 in the first innings, and his combined efforts earned him the distinction of being man of the match in Tasmania's first ever Pura Cup winning final.[1] He was called up to the Australian A team that toured Pakistan in 2007.
In the 2010–11 Sheffield Shield season, Butterworth was the leading wicker-taker, taking 43 wickets at an average of 15.04.[2] He helped Tasmania win another Shield title in 2012–13.
